(recycle is a given!)
This blog will detail what may seem to be two contradictory passions - non-consumerism and thrift shopping! However, in my quest to lead a less wasteful lifestyle, I have realized that used and vintage purchases quench my thirst for shopping, and provide me with durable, well-made goods that have stood the test of time.

Friday's Freebies: Kale

Friends of ours just went on holidays, so they gave us some farmer's market kale that
had to be used up. I love kale when other people make it, but am a little inexperienced with it myself. So I thought the easiest thing would be to make kale chips, which involves tossing
bite-size pieces of kale in some olive oil and salt and baking for about
15 minutes until you have dry and crunchy 'chips.' They are actually quite crispy, but obviously not as heavy as potato chips.

Crispy Snack from the Bowl

If you make them, I would recommend brushing (or at least checking) your teeth afterwards. Hus and I were laughing at the dark green flecks left on our front teeth after eating them! At least it showed we were eating our greens!
